US EditionPaige Bueckers Injury: WNBA No. 1 Draft Pick Placed in Concussion Protocol After Wings' Loss to Sky
- Dallas Wings guard Paige Bueckers entered concussion protocol after suffering a head-to-head collision with Courtney Vandersloot during a Thursday night game against the Chicago Sky.
- The injury occurred late in the second quarter, prompting the Wings to announce on Friday that Bueckers will miss at least the next two games as she recovers.
- Bueckers, the first overall pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft, has contributed an average of nearly 15 points, close to seven assists, and around five rebounds per game across her first six outings during a challenging 1-5 start for the Wings.
- The Wings fell to the Chicago Sky 97-92, and Bueckers is expected to undergo a medical evaluation following the team’s game at Seattle on Tuesday, with a potential comeback planned for their June 6 home contest versus the Los Angeles Sparks.
- Her absence will place additional ball-handling responsibilities on four-time All-Star Arike Ogunbowale, complicating the Wings’ situation as they struggle near the lowest ranks of the Western Conference standings.
